'but nothing could stop me from completing my odyssey / epic quest'
| часть текста - на французском. Следующая фраза: J'étais déterminée à aller au but que je m'étais fixé. Beaucoup de masques ont été mis sur l'évidence. |
| about a work of art.... in a manner, yes, on the one hand, she (the author) wrote a book about her life, but the goal was to understand the meaning of her life in universe... |
